A compelling new option is available for the Miami Dolphins on the waiver wire
The Miami Dolphins’ offensive line depth is a work in progress. Perhaps a former AFC East rival could be the play.
UPDATE: The Miami Dolphins won’t be claiming Caedan Wallace…because they’ve struck a trade for his services. The team announced the move this afternoon.
The Miami Dolphins‘ projected starting five on the offensive line looks like a promising group. There have been bright flashes from rookie Kadyn Proctor and second-year Jonah Savaiinaea looks improved on the right side.
But the depth of this collective unit is a concern. And if the Dolphins get pressed with injuries in the trenches, things could get ugly. I couldn’t tell you the last time the Dolphins had their preseason five starters play most of a season — which makes the backups particular worth inspecting and, potentially, churning. There may be a new target available on the waiver wire worth claiming.
Recently waived OL Caedan Wallace could be a compelling option for the Miami Dolphins
As far as disappointing Day 2 draft choices go, former New England Patriots offensive lineman Caedan Wallace is up there. Drafted 68th overall in the 2024 NFL Draft, Wallace has played in 10 games with two starts in his two seasons with the Patriots. He’s now on the waiver wire.
He’s athletic, though. At 6-foot-5, 314 pounds, Wallace posted an 80th percentile vertical leap (31″) and a 90th percentile broad jump (9 feet, 8 inches) at the 2024 NFL Combine. But the Patriots never seemed to have a plan in place. Wallace played 2,292 snaps at Penn State across five seasons and all but two of them came at right tackle.
Wallace didn’t get much in the way of right tackle reps in New England. He got sparing snaps there, but took 71 snaps at left tackle & as an extra offensive lineman, then played guard in 2025. The development plan never clicked. So now, he’s on the outs. Wallace could be a viable waiver claim for the Miami Dolphins, who have plenty of room to arrange for him to be a competitor behind Austin Jackson at right tackle. Jackson, of course, has had his fair share of durability issues. Strong depth at that spot could be vital. All of that adds up to Wallace being a player I’d be in on, if I were the Miami Dolphins.
